I just kind of whipped together something and just would like some input on what I need to change. It's only the second video I've made (The first one is also at my youtube page). I know a lot of people here like to post stuff to youtube so any suggestions to improve the quality would be great.

[TGS:Ep 1 Wing Commander]

This is only the first three minutes and it'll probably end up being a little under 30 minutes total but any advice on how cut together things make the audio quality better would be fantastic. The voice clips now are just kind of place holders till I figure out how to record my voice better but I think you can get the idea. Again, thanks for the suggestions! : )

    Well besides that since the other things on YouTube on average would be a larger settlement than what I've got. I don't think I'd have to add libel to my suit yet. Although, I guess I should work on that.

    Looks okay from what I saw and heard; the only thing I can really say, never having played many games of that ilk is that the intro was reeeally long, and you might want to cut it down a bit.

    Maybe I've got a short attention span but I didn't even watch more than 30 seconds the first time I clicked the link; I figured maybe there was nothing more going on and the entire thing was going to be a video of you playing wing commander.

    Its the sort of thing that people will sit through once they know you're going to pump out quality, but for (part of) a first episode it takes a while to get going.

    Cool, interesting. Yeah, I will definitely take that into account. Yeah, I was thinking that the spoken stuff I've recorded is almost 30 minutes that the intro being one minute wouldn't be too long but I kind of still had that nagging feeling too. Thanks!
